Leading multiplex chain PVR INOX on Monday reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 186.4 crore in Q4 of FY26 versus a loss of Rs 125 crore in the year-ago period, supported by blockbuster launches such as “Dhurandhar – The Revenge”, “Border 2” and “Project Hail Mary” among others.
Revenue from operations was up 25.8 per cent YoY to Rs 1,547.3 crore. It was at Rs 1,229.9 crore in the corresponding period a year ago.
“This was supported by some brutal cost control measures such as reducing capex intensity, increasing footfalls by doing various marketing initiatives, focus on ATP (average ticket price), SPH (spend per head) and advertising revenue,” Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, executive director, PVR INOX, said.
For the entire FY26, PVR INOX reported a net profit of Rs 332.8 crore. The total consolidated income rose 16.3 per cent to Rs 6,829.7 crore.
This was also supported by some successful films released this year, which drove the footfalls at the cinemas, said Bijli. “I think it has been a combination of great films coming out this year. We had some big hits like ‘Saiyaara’ and ‘Dhurandhar’ and ‘Thamma’, but we also had some sleeper hits, especially in regional films such as ‘Mahavatar Narsimha’, ‘Laalo Krishna’, some decent English films like ‘F1’, ‘Jurassic Park’, ‘Mission Impossible 7’, he said.
